2EVIDENCE BASED LITERATURE SEARCHIntroduction: Evidence based practice is the conscientious, unequivocal and judicious utilization ofrecent and authentic best practice evidences in the process of making clinical decisions regardingthe planning and implementation procedure of the care for individual patients. It is a technique ofsystematic research of external clinical evidence from reliable databases to inform best practicewithin the care scenario; and researchers are of the opinion that the use of evidence basedpractice has the potential to revolutionize the safety and effectiveness of care by enhancing theefficiency of the care strategies selected and reducing the possibility of errors completely(Melnyk et al. 2010).In case of this assignment, the technique of evidence based research has been selected toaddress the issue of how nurses can explore, understand and address the physical health needs ofthe mentally disabled patient population. It has to be understood that understanding the physicalhealth needs of the mentally disabled can be very difficult given their communication andbehavioral limitations and cognitive impairment. Often addressing even the most basic physicalhealth status can become very difficult. Hence, the nurses require a wealth of knowledge andskills to explore and attend to the physical health needs of a patient population that neitherunderstands nor can express their personal needs (Stevens 2013). Hence, this assignment will bean attempt to explore this issue and implement evidence based practice taking the assistance ofthe database CINAHL.

3EVIDENCE BASED LITERATURE SEARCHSearch strategy: A search strategy is the amalgamation of the systematic step by step action that has beentaken for conducting the research and results attained by the research. For this literature searchstudy, the chosen database had been CINAHL or Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied HealthLiterature and the database has been accessed through the university website (my.lsbu.ac.uk).Therationale for choosing this database for the study includes the fact that CINAHL is the databasethat provides indexes for more than 3075 nursing and allied health journals providing a widevariety of authentic and reliable options to choose from while finding literature evidences.Researchers are of the opinion that CINAHL is the most widely used and respected researchingtool for the nurses, students and allied health professionals across the world (Hill 2009). It coversnursing, biomedicine, health sciences librarianship, alternative or complementary medicine,consumer health and 17 other allied health disciplines and has more than 2.3 million records thatgoes back to 1981. The search began with a single phrase to optimize the number of results and the firstsearch item utilized the search phrase “Mental illness” which had resulted in 28762 results andthere had been no limiters used for the first search. To narrow down the results gradually, thenext search item included two phrases with respect to the research question and use of oneboolean operator ‘AND’ along with the truncation of “nurses” which got 1592 results. The nextresearch included three phrases “Mental illness”, “mental health service users” and “Nurses”using two Boolean operators (AND and OR) and limiting the time frame from 2008 to 2018which helped to narrow down the results to 272 results. Next the search was limited for findingpapers relevant to the research question which further narrowed down the search to 33 resultsand the search used a different set of search phrases including “
